The coop is central to Riverwest. It is staffed by volunteers with a handful of payed staff. Great place to grabs some snacks and groceries. On one side it’s a store and on the other is a short order Cafe that caters to vegan and vegetarian diners. Chuck full of characters.

Great museum that has an excellent collection of art. Very manageable in a few hours. And the building is super cool as well. A quick coffee in the front atrium is a treat. Or a glass of wine in the back entrance is a favorite of mine w/ out having to commit to an entrance fee. Lovely views of the lake.
